The
single most important aspect in our operation is SAFETY.
Talley Amusements has an excellent safety record. These records are attained through an
aggressive preventive maintenance program for all equipment and extensive training of
operating personnel. The maintenance program requires that all equipment be restored to
manufacture's specifications before the beginning of each season. This includes the
inspection of structural integrity through the use of x-ray and sonic testing equipment.
These state of the art techniques assure that structural failure is virtually eliminated.
Regular repair and rigid maintenance procedures are employed to maximize ride use and
efficiency. This policy not only creates inventory of equipment that has a detailed
inspection and replacement program which prevents mechanical failure, but also ensures
operating dependability during the critical time of the season. A detailed inspection of
all rides is conducted during the set-up and dismantling at each location. This
inspection, plus a daily inspection requirement has created an outstanding SAFETY
record for Talley Amusements.
Employees are required to attend group meetings several times during each fair to review
and emphasize safety features and procedures, as well as detailed emergency and evacuation
diagrams.
Electrical generators power all riding devices, games and food concessions. Electrical
cable connections are made with CamLock connectors and industrial rubber cable covers are
used throughout each site.
MAINTENANCE OF THE GROUNDS EMPLOYEE POLICY
A CLEAN NEAT area is mandatory for all Talley Amusements employees. The
appearance of the area creates a lasting impression in the eyes of the public. Not only
